Los Angeles has reigned for more than a century as the world capital of the film industry, a unique and ever-changing city that has been molded and recast thousands of times through the artistic visions and cinematic dreams of Hollywoods elite. As early as 1907, filmmakers migrated west to avoid lengthy eastern winters. In Los Angeles, they discovered an ideal world of abundant and diverse locales blessed with a mild and sunny climate ideal for filming. Location Filming in Los Angeles provides a historic view of the diversity of locations that provided the backdrop for Hollywoods greatest films, from the silent era to the modern age.
In her first book, Beneath the Surface, Karie takes and translates her lesson from counseling young girls and women to what we desiremeaningful and authentic relationships without having to create and maintain a variety of masks to wear. Now in Identity Crisis, Karie helps women recapture and reclaim their God-given identity. I think for many, our identity is broken. In an increasingly technological world, our identity gets broken more and more, or certainly, we run the risk of it doing so. We now have the ability to be a culprit and a victim of identity theft by our own hands at the same time. Standing before God on my day of judgment, I wonder what I will really be accountable for. I was not who God designed me to be. The identity given to me was not the identity I lived my life as. Instead, I twisted it, distorted it, and mangled it beyond recognition so that I adapted into an identity I thought the world expected of me. I played God. Will that be my offense? If so, I plead guilty. I imagine there is more than enough evidence to convict me. In Identity Crisis, we will discuss the self-created barriers to true relationship. If we live behind a mask, we can impress, but we cannot connect. That doesnt sound right, does it? That is not the story I want to be a part of and to have as my life. It sounds lonely. Lets take this journey together.

They will better understand the stages of their children's spiritual development and be inspired by a holistic vision of their kids' potential to connect deeply with God at any age.

During the Scottish Revolution (1637-1651), royalists and Covenanters appealed to Scottish law, custom and traditional views on kingship to debate the limits of King Charles I's authority. But they also engaged with the political ideas of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant and Catholic intellectuals beyond the British Isles. This book explores the under-examined European context for Scottish political thought by analysing how royalists and Covenanters adapted Lutheran, Calvinist, and Catholic political ideas to their own debates about church and state. In doing so, it argues that Scots advanced languages of political legitimacy to help solve a crisis about the doctrines, ceremonies and polity of their national church. It therefore reinserts the importance of ecclesiology to the development of early modern political theory.
As women, we compete for attention, validation, admiration, and the like. Today, technology makes it possible to connect with family and friends instantaneously. We have so many options. Gone are the days of a hand-written letter and rare are the phone conversations or times to really be authentic with a close friend. Technology makes it easy for women to portray an ideal life that competes with those whose lives they see represented on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and other social media. By going beneath the surface and discovering Gods true design for womanhood, women can feel empowered, energized, and free to remove the masks and confidently embrace a life of authenticity. While technologies such as social media and websites can improve our abilities and options to connect, they also mean there are just so many more channels we have to managerelationships, perceptions, details, and to top it off, we have to be aware of how our communications will be read and interpreted on the receiving end. Even though women long for meaningful relationships and an authentic life story, they often find themselves exhausted from having to create and maintain a variety of masks to wear during the appropriate settings that prevent them from this. As with anything, when it is overused, technology can take away from truly deep one-on-one intimacy and interaction. Anything we come to rely on to substitute for personal relationships runs the risks of losing authenticity.
In Critical Feminist Justpeace, Karie Cross Riddle presents an intersectional revision to conflict transformation, arguing that we need complementary theories and practices of gender-conscious peacebuilding for regions and conflicts that formal peacebuilding institutions and agendas cannot reach. Introducing a novel theoretical framework and drawing on fieldwork in Manipur, India, Riddle makes the case that we need norms and processes for feminist peacebuilding that can flexibly respond to the particularities of national and local politics and social context. Original and insightful, Riddle's theoretical framework serves as a flexible guide for women's local peacebuilding work.
This volume provides a history and catalog of the portraits by Charles Willson Peale, who painted heroes of the American revolution, founders of American government, statesmen, jurists, men of science, and individuals who contributed art and letters. The three chapters by Fanelli (Cultural Resources Management, Independence National Historical Park) discuss the collection from its inception through the period in which the shrine that housed it became a museum. Each of the 250 entries (mostly b&w, with a few in color) in the catalog includes a brief biography of the subject, a physical description of the painting, the circumstances under which it was created, and its provenance. They are arranged alphabetically by sitter. Edited by Karie Diethorn, chief curator, Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Have you ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or have you experienced deep despair? I spent so much of my life that way and turned to alcohol to escape the battles in my mind. Once I reached the bottom, I called out and surrendered to God. He answered and changed my life. But change is never easy, and there are always trials and tribulations. These poems reflect my conversations with God as I live each day in sobriety, turning to Him instead of alcohol. They are an honest seeking and wondering, a searching for hope and direction in a world filled with challenges. Perhaps, you are in a similar place. Maybe you, too, are looking for the light in the darkness. May God touch your heart as He has touched mine through these poems.
